Led by @RodTMitchell, researchers have transplanted previously frozen testicular tissue back into a 19-year-old who had high-dose chemotherapy, which can permanently affect fertility.

[Children with Cancer UK @CwC_UK]

Children with Cancer UK has supported this research for over a decade, first funding the programme in 2015 and again in 2024 to support the transplantation study. For boys who haven’t reached puberty, sperm freezing isn’t an option, so this research could offer new hope.
